How do I get log files from my Garmin system using iTunes?

If you have turned the Logging switch set to ON using the Garmin Connext Status page, a log file will be created that contains various data messages received during flight. The contents of these files are not useful for your needs, but they can be useful for troubleshooting by the ForeFlight Pilot Support Team.

To send us the Garmin log files that are stored on your iPad or iPhone, please follow these steps:

STEP 1. Connect the iPad or iPhone to the computer using the device's USB cable.

STEP 2. Start iTunes.

STEP 3. Click on the icon for your device at the top of iTunes.
